About the Album
Only a Lad is the full-length debut album by Oingo Boingo, released in 1981 following their self-titled EP. The album’s musical arrangements, by vocalist Danny Elfman and guitarist Steve Bartek, complete the group’s switch from a cabaret act to a New Wave band (see Oingo Boingo – The Mystic Knights Years). Only a Lad features complex and frequently changing time signatures and keys, often incorporating harmonies borrowed from jazz and 20th-century classical music; all hallmarks of Elfman’s songwriting.
